Review of Campbell University

from Fayetteville, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

Campbell University is a great college for students trying to find a close knit community with small class sizes. The teachers are very in tune with their students and get information across quickly and accurately. Overall, this school is fantastic.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are looking for a school in a big city with a lot of parties, this is not the college for you. There are parties and things to do around campus, but Campbell is not located in a big city where you can do anything. I would highly suggest this school for people considering entering their graduate programs. However, if you are getting a regular business degree or something of that nature, this college can give that to you, but for a whole lot more money than other colleges.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

This depends on your major. I am a pharmacy major, and my classes tend to give many people a hard time. Honestly, I have only found one class hard in my two semesters, but most of my friends have found multiple classes giving them major difficulty.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Depending on the dorm, you will have a different dorm life. I was in a suite style dorm which held eight people. There were two per room and one bathroom. The only problem occurred when some suite mates were not as cleanly as they should be.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are many places to eat on campus. With your meal plan, you get a certain amount of meals and camel bucks. Camel bucks can be used at Papa Johns, Quiznos, the Burger Studio, and Chick fa la on campus. Marshbanks and Shouse use the meals off of the meal plan.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

I mostly play sports. We have a ton of club sports and intramural sports that are very competitive. Otherwise you can go to the sporting, CAB, or club events. Also there are some parties that you can go to if you can find out where they are being held.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Depending on your major, Campbell is a great deal. This applies for everyone planning on going into a graduate program at Campbell. Otherwise, you are getting a very expensive business or education degree.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have an annual Easter egg hunt where the golden eggs can get you a flat screen TV. The Alan Brown Challenge is a great relay race that involves many activities other than running.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students wanting a close knit community feel on their campus. Ones that know how to have fun when there are not any events going on on campus.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have a plethora of clubs on campus. We have a street fair at the beginning of the year which showcases them all. Tents are crammed on the walkway with people showcasing their club.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

If there is ever a problem, campus safety is only a phone call or a yell away. Campus safety rides golf carts around campus in order to get to any disturbances on campus quickly.
